English version: At that time, countless Buddhas, as many as the sands of the Ganges River, each from their own Buddha-lands, simultaneously emitted sounds, each gathering their voices, soft and clear, all emanating from the mouth of one Buddha, uttering various teachings. The sounds spoken were like this, simultaneously informing all attendants, saying: 'The World Honored Buddhas have just finished proclaiming the Dharma, and all Buddha-lands are shaken by it. Hundreds and thousands of musical instruments play without being struck, and the music of gods, people, and Asuras is also like this; the sounds also proclaim impermanence, suffering, emptiness, and non-self, the sounds of emptiness, formlessness, wishlessness, voidness, and the original non-existence, the sound of the ultimate reality, the sound of abandoning lust, anger, and ignorance, without the sounds of the three realms, the sound of true reality, the sounds of giving, morality, patience, diligence, meditation, and wisdom, the sound of constant shame, the sounds of loving-kindness, compassion, joy, and equanimity, the sound of following practice, upholding without negligence, like this, many times, constantly proclaiming the sounds of hundreds and thousands of Dharma meanings. This Dharma that is spoken causes countless people to stand in non-retrogression, aspiring to the unsurpassed true path, enlightening the Dharma of Sravakas and Pratyekabuddhas, the positions of Sakra (Indra) and Brahma, and achieving the status of a Universal Monarch, also like this.' Then the Buddhas told their attendants: 'Good sons of noble families! You should be silent and listen attentively, for this is beyond the reach of Sravakas and Pratyekabuddhas. Gods, people, and Asuras, upon hearing this, will feel confused and bewildered. The Tathagata praises and proclaims this light of merit, whose merit and achievements are inconceivable, whose accumulated merits and blessings cannot be measured. The practice of diligence and wisdom is what leads to this ultimate light. Even if one were to praise this light for a kalpa or more, one could not fully express its origin. The compassion that arises from this light is so magnificent!' The attendants of the Buddhas, having heard these praises repeatedly, felt even more hunger and thirst, and again reported: 'We beseech the Great Sages to proclaim the Dharma in due time, to show much compassion, to bring much peace, to have pity on the gods and the people of the ten directions, as well as the Bodhisattvas of the Mahayana, so that they may establish the root of virtue.' At that time, the Buddhas told their attendants: 'Good sons of noble families! There is a Buddha-land called the Saha World (Endurance World), and there is a Buddha there named Sakyamuni (Sage of the Sakyas).' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: The Tathagata, the ultimate truth, the perfectly enlightened one, perfect in knowledge and conduct, the well-gone, the knower of the world, the unexcelled one, the tamer of men, the teacher of gods and humans, the World Honored One, arose in this chaotic and turbid world of the five defilements. The beings in this land are filled with lust, anger, and ignorance, arrogant and without respect, abandoning the pure aspiration and peaceful virtues, and devoid of shame, they are devoted to mistaken and evil deeds. Such are the beings of this lower realm, foolish and ignorant, practicing all kinds of evil, and thus they are born in this land. Having attained the supreme and true path, the most perfectly enlightened one, he expounds the Dharma. There is a Bodhisattva named Manjusri, whose power is vast, whose sacred wisdom is limitless, whose diligence is unparalleled, and whose majestic transformations are such that he encourages and guides all Bodhisattvas, leading them into the great vehicle of supreme virtue, becoming the parent of all Bodhisattvas! He understands all dharmas at all times, distinguishes the meaning of phrases with unobstructed wisdom, crosses to the other shore, has boundless eloquence, and attains total retention. He understands the root nature of all beings, and from his understanding, he spreads the teachings. His meritorious virtues are inconceivable. Therefore, he goes to inquire of the Tathagata, the ultimate truth, about the practices that should be undertaken, so that all Bodhisattvas may achieve the root of virtue, and advance all Bodhisattvas, enabling them to thoroughly understand and diligently contemplate the Buddha's teachings. This noble son, Manjusri, invites all Bodhisattvas, and thus manifests the true and wonderful teachings at the appropriate time, so that countless billions of Bodhisattvas from the ten directions may gather to listen to the Dharma expounded by this Buddha, and thus reveal his light that pervades all Buddha lands. The attendant asked: 'What is the name of this samadhi?' The Buddha said: 'It is called the Pure Light Adornment Free from Defilement. Manjusri dwells in this samadhi, and the majestic and wondrous light he emanates shines far and wide like this.' Then the attendants said to the Buddha: 'We have never before seen such a form, so gentle and peaceful, with such a voice and aspiration, and such a wondrous light and sound. Because of this, he constantly emits light with boundless compassion. How wonderful! Such extraordinary and inconceivable virtues and radiance are truly inspiring!' The Buddha said: 'Noble sons! It is at times like this that such great and vast radiance is manifested.' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ，会诸菩萨讲宣经典，开示大道。”

尔时十方无数难计不可思议八方上下面面各各十亿江沙诸佛之土，各有无量不可思议诸菩萨众，皆诣佛所，稽首足下，前白佛言：“唯愿大圣，此何光明？自从昔来未曾见闻，此何先应？” 于时诸佛告诸菩萨：“有族姓子，世界名忍，有佛号曰释迦文如来、至真、等正觉，现在说法。彼有菩萨名曰溥首，演布如斯光明之曜，其光名曰：请诸菩萨悉令集会，是其瑞应。” 时诸菩萨各白佛言：“我等欲诣至于忍界，奉见能仁如来至真，稽首请问，咨受所闻，亦欲亲觐文殊师利及余菩萨。” 其佛答曰：“往，族姓子！今正应时。” 于时，十方不可思议无数菩萨，亿百千垓如尘之数，犹若壮士屈伸臂顷，各从所在诸佛国土忽然不见，住于忍界。彼有菩萨，而雨众华往诸佛所，或雨杂香华鬘涂香，青莲红黄白华，信脱思夷梧桐须蔓，柔软、大柔软，普念大普念音华，月大月悦乐月华，雨如是辈若干种华，以供养尊往至佛所。或有菩萨，以一音响告语三千大千世界，咨嗟如来无量功勋，往诣佛所，或帝释眷属，或梵营从，或四天王辈类，或如天龙鬼神、犍沓和等玉女作乐诸眷属也，若干种变殊别各异，往诣佛所。适到其前，此忍世界三千大千诸有地狱 现代汉语译本：聚集众菩萨宣讲经典，开示大道。 当时，十方无数难以计算、不可思议的八方上下各个方向，每个方向都有十亿恒河沙数诸佛的国土，每个国土都有无量不可思议的菩萨众，都来到佛的处所，顶礼佛足，上前禀告佛说：‘唯愿大圣，这是什么光明？自从过去以来从未见过听过，这是什么先兆？’ 这时，诸佛告诉众菩萨：‘有善男子，世界名为忍（Saha），有佛号为释迦文如来（Sakyamuni Tathagata）、至真（Arhat）、等正觉（Samyaksambuddha），现在正在说法。他有一位菩萨名为溥首（Pusya），正在散布如此的光明之耀，这光的名字叫做：请诸菩萨悉令**，这是它的瑞应。’ 当时，众菩萨各自禀告佛说：‘我们想要前往忍界，拜见能仁如来（Sakyamuni Tathagata），顶礼请问，接受教诲，也想亲近文殊师利（Manjusri）及其他菩萨。’ 他们的佛回答说：‘去吧，善男子！现在正是时候。’ 当时，十方不可思议无数的菩萨，数量如亿百千垓尘土一般，就像壮士屈伸手臂的瞬间，各自从所在的诸佛国土忽然消失，来到忍界。他们中有菩萨，散落众多的花朵前往诸佛的处所，有的散落各种香花、花鬘、涂香，青莲花、红黄白花，信脱思夷（Sindhuvāraka）梧桐须蔓，柔软的、非常柔软的，普念大普念音花，月大月悦乐月花，散落如此种种的花，用来供养尊者，前往佛的处所。有的菩萨，用一种声音告知三千大千世界，赞叹如来无量的功勋，前往佛的处所，有的带着帝释（Indra）眷属，有的带着梵天（Brahma）随从，有的带着四大天王（Caturmaharajika）等，有的像天龙（Naga）鬼神、犍沓和（Gandharva）等玉女作乐的眷属，各种变化各不相同，前往佛的处所。刚到佛前，这忍世界三千大千世界所有地狱

English version: Gathered all the Bodhisattvas to expound the scriptures, revealing the great path. At that time, in the ten directions, countless, immeasurable, and inconceivable lands of the Buddhas, each with ten billion Ganges sands of Buddha lands in each of the eight directions, above, below, and all sides, each had immeasurable and inconceivable Bodhisattva assemblies. They all went to the Buddha's place, bowed at his feet, and stepped forward to say to the Buddha: 'We beseech the Great Sage, what is this light? Since the past, we have never seen or heard of it. What is this prior sign?' At that time, the Buddhas told the Bodhisattvas: 'There is a son of a good family, in a world named Saha, where there is a Buddha named Sakyamuni Tathagata, Arhat, Samyaksambuddha, who is now expounding the Dharma. He has a Bodhisattva named Pusya, who is spreading such a radiance of light. The name of this light is: Inviting all Bodhisattvas to come, this is its auspicious sign.' At that time, the Bodhisattvas each said to their Buddhas: 'We wish to go to the Saha world, to pay homage to the Sakyamuni Tathagata, to bow and inquire, to receive teachings, and also to draw near to Manjusri and other Bodhisattvas.' Their Buddhas replied: 'Go, sons of good families! Now is the right time.' At that time, countless and inconceivable Bodhisattvas from the ten directions, as numerous as hundreds of thousands of trillions of dust particles, as quickly as a strong man stretches and bends his arm, each suddenly disappeared from their respective Buddha lands and arrived in the Saha world. Some of the Bodhisattvas rained down various flowers towards the Buddhas' places, some rained down various fragrant flowers, garlands, and scented ointments, blue lotuses, red, yellow, and white flowers, Sindhuvāraka, paulownia vines, soft, very soft, Punya Mahapunya sound flowers, Moon Great Moon Joyful Moon flowers, raining down such various kinds of flowers to offer to the honored ones, going to the Buddhas' places. Some Bodhisattvas, with one sound, informed the three thousand great thousand worlds, praising the immeasurable merits of the Tathagata, going to the Buddhas' places. Some came with Indra's retinue, some with Brahma's followers, some with the Four Heavenly Kings, some like the retinue of celestial dragons, spirits, Gandharvas, and jade maidens making music, with various transformations, each different, going to the Buddhas' places. As soon as they arrived before the Buddha, all the hells in this Saha world, the three thousand great thousand worlds, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
